Global Conference on Air Pollution and Health

Did you know that air pollution is one of the biggest killers worldwide (6.5 million people per year)? One-third of fatalities from stroke, heart attack, lung cancer, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease can be traced back to air pollution. Don’t think this problem is limited to congested cities – nearly half of all people worldwide cook with a polluting heat source, and household air pollution is a leading cause of deaths in both rural and urban communities.

There are affordable solutions to these problems. The World Health Organization will hold its first global conference on Air Pollution and Health from October 30 – November 1 in Geneva, Switzerland. Topics of discussion will include reducing emissions from transportation, energy, waste, housing, and industrial sectors, and how to help effect these changes.
